Submitted by timstevens on 12/03/2008 - 18:03
Players ejected from N.C. High School Athletic Association games will be required to take an on-line sportsmanship course before being allowed to participate.
The NCHSAA Board of Directors approval a proposal on Wednesday in Chapel Hill to require any player who is ejected for fighting to colmplete a STAR sportsmanship course on-line before returning to play. The on-line tests takes about 50 minutes.
If a coach is ejected, he must take the coach's STAR course.
The athlete or coach is required to file a certificate of completion with the NCHSAA before returning to participation.
